TOI-7169 b: A Hot Jupiter Transiting a Metal-Poor Star
Joshua D. Simon, Joseph E. Rodriguez, Jhon Yana Galarza +38
Most known planets are found around metal-rich host stars, which has made it difficult to determine whether a lower metallicity limit for planet formation exists and how the proper…
A Uniform Determination of the Bulk Metallicities and Alpha Enrichments of Confirmed Exoplanet Systems with TRES
Romy RodrÃguez MartÃnez, Emily K. Pass, Phillip A. Cargile +4
We present a uniform spectroscopic characterization of 625 F, G, and K stars hosting 859 confirmed exoplanets using high-resolution archival optical spectra from the Tillinghast Re…
Gas-depleted planet formation occurred in the four-planet system around the red dwarf LHS 1903
Thomas G. Wilson, Anna M. Simpson, Andrew Collier Cameron +173
Small exoplanet radii show two populations, referred to as super-Earths and sub-Neptunes, separated by a gap known as the radius valley. This may be produced by the removal of atmo…
An Ancient Brown Dwarf Transiting a Metal-Poor Thick Disk Star
Jéa Adams Redai, Vedant Chandra, Samuel W. Yee +20
We report the discovery of TOI-7019b, the first transiting brown dwarf (BD) known to orbit a star that is part of the Milky Way's ancient thick disk, as defined chemically ([Fe/H]…
Metallicities from High-Resolution TRES Spectra with uberMS: Performance Benchmarks and Literature Comparison
Emily K. Pass, Phillip A. Cargile, Victoria DiTomasso +7
As the field of exoplanetary astronomy has matured, demand has grown for precise stellar abundances to probe subtle correlations between stellar compositions and planetary demograp…
The HD 60779 Planetary System: A Transiting Sub-Neptune on a 30-day Orbit and a More Massive Outer World
Victoria DiTomasso, David Charbonneau, Andrew Vanderburg +37
We present the discovery of the planetary system orbiting the bright (V = 7.2), nearby (35 pc), Sun-like star HD 60779, which has a mass of 1.050 +/- 0.044 solar masses and a radiu…
